Select the phrase/connector from the given three options which can be used in the beginning (to start the sentence) to form a single sentence, implying the same meaning as expressed in the statement. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Saturday arrested one of the suspected shooters in the 2013 murder of rationalist and anti-superstition activist Narendra Dabholkar. i. According to headlines ii. There’s a buzz that iii. According to a whistleblower Correct Answer Only i
The correct answer is option 1, i.e. Only i.
The given statement can be assumed to be a headline of a newspaper thus, (i) can be used to begin the given sentence.
As far as (ii) is concerned, the word ‘buzz’ means ‘an atmosphere of excitement and activity’ and is generally not used in serious matters like the one stated in the question thus, it cannot be selected as an appropriate starter for the given statement.
Choice (iii) can also be rejected as a ‘whistlbelower’ is a person who informs on a person or organization regarded as engaging in an unlawful or immoral activity and does not fit appropriately with the given sentence. It can be assumed that a whistleblower provided the information and then the action has been taken against it. As it is also irrelevant with the given context, it can be rejected.
Thus, the only option that can be used as an appropriate sentence starter is (i).
The statement can be rewritten as-
According to headlines, The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Saturday arrested one of the suspected shooters in the 2013 murder of rationalist and anti-superstition activist Narendra Dabholkar.
